Step 1 of 11

A lot of people have requested this guide, because I know, the other one was confusing..... so here it is! Hope this one is easier to understand

Step 3 of 11

Separate into three equal strands

Step 4 of 11

Braid all the way down, not too loose, not too tight

Step 5 of 11

U want to separate the three strands at the bottom, gripping the outer two with your thumb and index finger... Make sure your fingers r not directly touching the middle strand

Step 6 of 11

Slowly bunch up the hair.If it gets stuck early on, either your braid is too tight or you're not gripping the strands correctly.If it gets stuck at the top, that's normal... Just keep pushing it

Step 7 of 11

Slowly bunch DOWN the hair now

Step 8 of 11

Add a hair band to the end and you're done!! U probably don't want to wear the braid like I have it in the guide... That was just for demonstration. U can try many hairstyles with this: my personal

Step 9 of 11

Step 10 of 11
